My Creative Time Square Card Challenge

It's a rare day indeed.  Our company is gone (for now), all my design assignments are done and hubby is off golfing.  I actually had a day to play.  The first thing I did was get out my storage box with My Creative Time  Stamps and Dies to make a project for Miss Emma's current challenge for a square card.  Once every summer I send cards off to our Florida campground friends.  I needed a design that was simple and could be easily duplicated, without layers because I need to mail a dozen of them.  I started with plain white cardstock cut 4 x 8", scored and folded in half.  Next I went through my stamps and dies and decided to use the It's All About You stamp set.  Using the arrow stamp and my Memento Dew Drop Inks I stamped the arrow in the seven colors of a rainbow.  The colors I used were-Grape Jelly (Purple), Danube Blue (Indigo), Bahama Blue (Blue), Cottage Ivy (Green), Dandelion (Yellow), Tangelo (Orange) and Lady Bug (Red).   Once I decided on my design the process went quickly, starting with the sentiment stamped in the bottom right corner.  Next I cut out the arrow pieces.  This sounds tedious, but it was just of matter of four snips of the scissors for each one and didn't take much time at all.

I decided to draw a light line from the top left corner of the card towards the sentiment so my placement of the arrow strips would be straight.  When I was done placing the arrows I erased the line.  That's it, I had all the cards done in a little over an hour.  

I'm so excited because tomorrow July 10th, is the day to see  Miss Emma's newest release on My Creative Time For Me.  I know they're going to be fabulous and that I'll want them all, but of course I'll have to stay within a bit of a budget.  The best thing about My Creative Time stamps and dies is how well the newer sets will coordinate with the older releases so I know whatever I purchase will go along with the sets I already have.
